ABOUT ME
Software engineer with 5+ years experience coding in Python and Java!
Software engineer with 5+ years experience coding in Python and Java!
I'm an analytical but creative software engineer with a love for applying tech against interesting domains and problems. I have a knack for taking tough concepts and presenting them in a way that's easy to understand - if analogies are your thing I think you'll find that I have the perfect one for any situation. My work is backed with results, I have been tutoring a friend of mine for a year or two, and he was able to use the knowledge I taught him to transition from Application Specialist (non-coding role) to a Software Engineer at his company!
Please see my personal portfolio site and Github for video game mod related projects, and other assorted coding endeavors!

I first started to self-teach myself Python using online tutorials and Codecademy one semester in college, and it quickly became my favorite language. It's now my bread and butter, as my latest job has been entirely Python programming. It's a powerful, easy-to-read language resulting in a remarkable turnaround for building projects, and I highly recommend it to beginner coders.

This was the bulk of my coding education in college, a plethora of Java projects and problems. I went on to exclusively use Java for a couple years at my first job and as such it is my 2nd strongest language. Another great choice for beginners, with the distinction of being a strongly typed, compiled language in comparison to Python.

I took 3 or 4 courses in C during college education including some hefty, semester long projects. I think it's one of the most interesting languages owing to all the functionality regarding memory (you can easily peer directly into where all your variables are stored!). It can be extremely powerful or quite problematic if not handled correctly. It's one of the strongest examples of what you can do when manually handling pointers instead of leaving it to the programming language itself. I don't use C frequently so it's not my most proficient language, but I can certainly weigh in on C code.
